First class service and an excellent meal. Kobe Cab steak was absolutely perfect. It was a fabulous experience overall. Our server, Dalton, was top notch. Highly recommended. You will not be disappointed.

We visited here fromAtlanta, and loved it. As avid steak eaters, we were highly impressed by the quality! We both agreed this was one of the best steaks we have eaten. Prices are fair marketer value as well!

The steaks were delicious! We had the 100 day aged and the Kobe. Amazing. Asparagus and mushrooms for sides which were pretty good (the mushrooms were wonderful but the asparagus was only okay). The ambience is great but it’s kind of loud. Meal felt pretty pricey BUT those steaks were worth it. Will go again.

I am from Buffalo NY, and travel about 4 times a year to Boston. My guests, however, live in the city, and commute frequently to thier homes on the coast. I have been to your restaurant about 4 times, but not in a couple years.......since i was hosting the dinner, i thought it was time to come back.....surprisingly, my guests had never been....all of us are foodies, however, my one friend i uber foodie, and had questions that our waiter never flinched upon, he was well infomed of all of the dishes and preparations. They loved it, and a stones throw from them, this will now be undoubtedly, one of their new Go To establishments, impeccable food and wine selectons and a continuum of amazing customer service!

We came to celebrate a birthday and found ourselves very well taken care of. Our waiter, Garrett, provided excellent recommendations on both food, wine, and specials and offered to send over the sommelier for additional assistance. He was appropriately attentive and was sure to recognize the guest of honor as soon as we sat down. We followed the recommendations of some friends and Garrett and were very happy with our selection of steak and sides, as well as wine. When it came time for dessert we received a slice of delicious coconut cake complete with candle and small 'Happy Birthday' chocolate. The service was fantastic and the food was well worth the price and trip into the city to celebrate. We left with full stomachs, some leftovers, and smiles on our faces with plans to return.

Tonight was amazing. It was my friend and I’s first time here. The food was amazing, loved the atmosphere, and the waiter was very nice. He even misread my ID birthday as today instead of next month and kept telling me happy birthday. Very funny!! He even brought out this white chocolate bar with the chocolate layer cake I ordered with a lit candle on top! So thoughtful! 10/10 would recommend 😂😄🎂🍰

Grille 23 is one of our favorite restaurants in Boston and it did not disappoint on our recent visit. The food is always excellent and the service is top notch. We were seated upstairs for the first time, and we would have preferred the downstairs, although it wasn't really an issue. It is pricey so it's not a place we would go during the week for a bite. We only go on special occasions, but it's a real treat. I highly recommend it!

We took our daughter for her Birthday.We all had something different and all of our meals were superb. Salads and sides are big enough to share.The Coconut cake for dessert and the chocolate chip cookies were also outstanding.

It was a wonderful meal at a quiet space they prepared for us. We made the reservation as an anniversary date on Opentable. They prepared us a more private space upstairs, the servers and waiters were extremely patient and helpful with orders. Food was amazing and the creme brulee was the best in boston steakhouse no doubt.

Flat iron steak outstanding. Tastiest steak I had in a while. Some of the sides missed the mark, most notably the Brussels sprouts. Not fully cooked and not really that tasty. Some places are doing amazing things with brussel sprouts these days. Somehow making them taste as good as potato chips! Cooked right they can melt in your mouth. Talking to you Dumpling Daughter in Weston!!! That's how to make brussel sprouts. But this is a steak place after all and the steak was really exceptional in flavor and texture.

I wished the lady who led us to our table could be a little more accomadating with regards to the request of the table. I understand about reservations and all but I dont think people will even know upfront where they will be seated. All I asked is to be in that corner square table but she insist on putting us in where she want to put us. There’s this 2 people that came in and led them to a table and they requested for a different one and their request was accomadated. If that’s the case, they should be more consistent about the policies.

Grille 23 is always consistent for service and atmosphere, food is always Excellent!!

Our waiter David was extremely professional and very respectful not to interrupt our business conversations. His service and the food selected was exceptional from appetizer throughout dinner I would strongly recommend Grille 23 to anyone looking for an exceptional 5 star services from online booking flexibilty, to a great atmosphere.Our clients were extremely impressed having been to Grille 23 for the first time traveling from NY.

Nice to be greeted as 'returning' customer. Excellently prepared main courses; side vegies (sautéed spinach and asparagus perfect (love the thin grilled asparagus). Garlic potato OK--a bit cooler than it could be. But tastes. Great wine list. Reasonably priced selections. Service during meal attentive, supportive but not bothersome. My guests loved it too.

Fantastic! Grill 23 is an incredible restaurant and I highly recommend! Try the Coconut Cake!

The noise level downstairs can be pretty high, so we asked for a quiet table, and were seated upstairs. We both ordered lobster chowder, and it was delicious! Steaks were properly cooked, mac n cheese was creamy and good. Dessert was coconut cake, the serving was so large, two of us couldn’t finish it! Service was excellent, my martini was perfect, no complaints at all. Wish the prices were a bit lower so we could dine there more often

Have been 3x, love the dry aged ribeye. Side dishes were disappointing. Brussel sprouts were overcooked and soggy. Potatoes had no flavor. While the steak and the service was good, the complete meal wasn't. We won't go back.
